To make chicken breast really soft and tender, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs, then cook it gently using methods like poaching or baking at a moderate temperature.

To make the chicken breast soft and tender, submerge it in a brine for 30 minutes to 1 hour. The brine should be 1/4 cup of salt and 4 cups of water. Another trick is to use a mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
